Loud sex finally too much for cancer-stricken neighbors

Actually kind of sad. Also features racism!

He's retired and mostly just shares news stories with funny headlines on his blog. I remember a few years ago when he was still writing and he was half funny, half cranky old man.

I read his most recent book (probably the first time I had read him in five years) and a lot of it was dumb dad jokes. I'm worried if I go back to his other stuff I won't like him anymore.

I was humoring a date and went to a meeting of a local gull enthusiast club. They're like regular birdwatchers taken to 11.

Why would you even bother being a gull enthusiast? They're extremely common. That's like being a birder whose only interest is sparrows.

I don't have an issue with sparrows, they're just the default bird that will be there if you look outside. At least in the Midwestern US.

I think there's so much caution around accidentally publishing an incomplete or incorrect story that virtually every story now from every publication except tabloids begins with "allegedly" until they either admit it or it's absolutely proven, which usually only comes long after the fact after a full investigation.

Yeah, that is standard news practice for any crime story.

I don't understand why that style of mustache is looked down on. We should start calling it the Chaplin or the Oliver Hardy. Take it back from Hitler.

I know I can't wait until the stigma is lifted and I can finally rock that facial hair......and kill all the jews.

1,100 strangers showed up at his home for sex. He blames Grindr

Over the past five months, Matthew Herrick says that 1,100 men have showed up at his home and workplace expecting to have sex with him. Herrick is suing Grindr, the popular dating app for gay and bisexual men, because of it.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/14/technology/grindr-lawsuit/index.html

That dude needs to be going after his ex more than Grindr.

Also within that article is a video titled "To combat revenge porn, I had to copyright my breasts."

Those are the only real pandas anyway, giant pandas were only named that because they looked kind of like the original pandas.

It's total bullshit that you have to say 'red panda' now or people will think you're talking about a fat, useless bear. Must be how Kevin Smith the detroit tigers running back felt.

Kevin Smith the Lions running back was pretty useless too. Would you rather be the leading rusher on the worst football team of all time or a popular animal that never gets horny?

Because that's not what bland means? Chocolate is ubiquitous because it's delicious. Vanilla is ubiquitous because it doesn't conflict with anything.

Vanilla tastes like vanilla. If you think it doesn't taste of anything and goes with everything, try it on a hotdog. Put it in some mashed potatoes. Have some vanilla ice-cream with gravy.

I read that earlier and the comments section is truly incredible. You've got people lambasting the Post because "there's not enough evidence" (everything is alleged or claimed and the story doesn't suggest otherwise). Someone said they ruined this guy's life (the man is unnamed). You have a guy saying this happened because the left breeds contempt(???). Multiple people think this is Russian planted fake news.
